“United States of Akkad in 2022 A.D. instead of 2200 B.C.?” Op-Ed

August 10, 2022 Tonja Condray Klein

By Tonja Condray Klein©08/10/2022

I’ve been reading a lot of history books about the years of Antiquity and Ancient Empires including Sumerians, Hittites, and Akkadians since I traced one of my family lineages to the Macedonian/Turkey area in 720 BCE historically. When I came across what has been thought to have happened to the Akkadian Empire along with others before in same area at the same time as the Egyptians, I was shocked that Akkad seemed to disappear from the Earth after being a main empire for hundreds of years before. A three hundred year drought happened to cause deaths and then forced relocation due to the loss of crops, water, and lack of ability to keep people alive let alone prosperous as the empire had been for hundreds of years. Weather cycle drought and a main volcanic eruption caused their demise to happen in antiquity.

I had an “Oh, Lord Jesus, could the major drought in the United States in 2022 be a precursor to us like it was to Akkad in 2200 B.C when their leaders didn’t consider prosperity was getting ready to be taken away violently?” Weather cycles has been happening for centuries as noted by various histories, and they still happen around the world today even though ‘climate change’ is the current term that is NOT what they claim. Could this once prosperous country of America see a similar catastrophe happen here as it did to Akkad in Mesopotamia almost four thousand years ago? I’m sure those Akkadian, Macedonian, and Egyptian leaders hadn’t thought the Atlantic current temperature would become so low that rains wouldn’t fall for centuries. Food became scarce, fighting for survival began, and empires couldn’t recover.

The United States of America in 2020 had become energy independent and an exporter of oil to other countries, had businesses with goods to meet the needs of American consumers by stable transportation, and had been enjoying the most robust economy in American history… until Covid-19 became our volcano. Government policies quickly took our economy down more when it halted our main export that made us become dependent again within two years, but Covid-19 had an even steadier descent factor. American liberties were sacrificed to try to save lives since people wanted to live and help others live too. We didn’t realize that personal rights and American resources were being taken away as much since deaths from the worldwide pandemic made living become more important than freedoms that weren’t gone yet.

In the United States of America in 2022, we’re seeing our own country in a 27% drought in July with wheat crops failing and the Hoover Dam losing 158 feet of water as dangerously low! Gas prices are extremely high due to the policies that stopped us from being energy independent with our gas production that had been steady. Our transportation chain has slowed and is causing shortages, and if more crops fail then we’ll see even more increases to costs of main foods that will hurt middle and lower income Americans. Russia war with Ukraine might have caused some of our problems, but leaders have been spending OUR money and giving away OUR oil! Is America NOW Akkad in 2022 CE? Our leaders seem just as unaware of the drastic consequences from their actions as the Akkad leaders were unaware back in 2334 B.C.E.!

Guiana, Shri Lanka, and the Netherlands went ‘green’, gave up ‘farming’, and began starving. In 2018, France had riots when they tried to do the same thing. With these developments the world seems against “Modern Civilization”. If you read Hourly History book MESOPOTAMIAN HISTORY: SUMERIANS, HITTITES, AKKADIAN EMPIRE, ASSYRIAN EMPIRE, BABYLON then you’d know the ancients discovered ways to do things 4100 years earlier than people in 1400 CE England who didn’t. Records about Mesopotamian empires weren’t even found until “Cuneiform” tablets in the19^th century and were translated. We now know that the empires kept homes warm, waste away from the homes and water sources, and farming plentiful to the point they exported food… until a volcano and a drought.

While I agree with intelligent and responsible conservation of this planet, some things being forced on the world in 2022 as the ONLY ways to keep ‘climate change’ from happening are more ignorant than the ways that the medieval society had in their time – Bubonic Plague, people! Proper water temperatures ARE needed for RAIN to produce FOOD, and long times of DROUGHT makes that impossible like it did with Mesopotamia about 6122 years ago. So WHY let a non-democratic foreign country buy OUR farmland near air force bases? We have a drought in 2022 for our farmers to deal with already! We risk NEVER being independent from countries that want to take freedoms we have left to then try to RULE OR STARVE us. Is this what the American people want because we are too afraid to say, “NO!” to China?

You can call me whatever horrid name you want, but I have read FACTS to PROVE what I take my time to write. Is it possible I accepted another person’s findings that seemed verified but have been refuted since? It’s possible, but I do have eyes, ears, and a functioning intellect to help me to decide what I choose to stand with when others only have blank concepts that make NO SENSE, emotional platitudes that PROVE NOTHING, and loud voices that only have those two things that are without REAL substance for any intelligent person to accept it. I READ A LOT. I read 113 books in 2020, 93 books in 2021, and 51 books to date in 2022. I don’t take anyone’s opinion before doing my own research of a subject, compare content to known facts, and accept what is rooted in REALITY. I’m not perfect, but I do try to be verifiable.

IF the drought taking place in America this summer lasts for more than a couple years and is said to be caused by ‘climate change’ then I’ll check on weather cycles to see if they explain how weather cycles were responsible instead. IF it was ‘climate change’ as claimed would cause it in our time then I’ll admit it, but I know we wouldn’t last more than a few years let alone hundreds like Akkadians did 4222 years ago. Considering that solar panels and wind mills CANNOT DO what supporters claimed they would in a national capacity, I won’t hold my breath. Fossil fuels (Natural Gas, Coal, and Oil) ALL are used for electricity NEEDED for Windmills AND Solar Panels to work. If we stop using Fossil Fuels we will have NO electricity. NO electronics, heating, cooling, or food storage. Mesopotamia did better on 3 out of 4!

The Russian war in Ukraine has been a current crisis, but now China is trying to secure Taiwan and tried to stop our Speaker of the House from visiting by actually giving a death threat if she did. America’s government isn’t trying to protect our national borders, farming land, energy sources, or even the prosperity of the American people coming out of the pandemic. Instead they are causing a present recession and passing a bill that will steal money from the middle and lower income Americans with tax increases for many years to pay for ideological projects that will weaken this country even more. With the drought already pointing towards hard times for regular people when it comes to just feeding their families, you would think our leaders would try to SECURE what AMERICANS need to survive. They refuse to do it.

If we’d all take a serious look at the historical and archaeological reasons and outcomes of what happened to the Akkadians in 2200 B.C. then we’d be able to see a correlation and try to CHANGE COURSE for America in 2022 A.D. Leaders need to STOP doing the things that make NO sense and makes America WEAKER with their failing policies and impossible allocations of this country’s resources without America’s best interest at all. Leaders need to STOP letting us become dependent on foreign products and resources. Americans needs to create them LOCALLY so we can take care of each other! If not, Americans will suffer a lack of food, medicine, heat, and electronic components used daily. Is that the kind of life any American wants? Are we going to let unaware or uncaring leaders destroy American lives this way now?

I don’t know if the House can stop the horrendous bill going through, but if it passes then our freedoms, those in the middle and lower incomes especially, will be harmed. I’m debt-free, but I have family who can barely afford food or living essentials, and they work now or have worked and retired. If you want to drink the free Kool-Aid some politicians are handing out from both sides, then be my guest. I won’t drink anything they hand to me. Politics are a poison. I hate it and the people who serve as high-priests or priestesses to their ideological religion KILL. “FREEDOM!” is my cry, and I don’t mean chaos that disrespects this country’s laws. I mean JUSTICE by our Constitution with Law and Order for the people by the people; FOR EVERY COLOR, GENDER, OCCUPATION, FAITH, AND SOCIAL STRATA!

ONE NATION UNDER GOD INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! That is something I STILL BELIEVE exists in 2022. We just have a bunch of Akkadian-minded leaders who can’t see a volcano or drought bearing down on America in 2022. I SEE THEM! Can’t you? I really want to think that most people in America have at least a BIT of common sense. I’m hoping ALL of you that do will prove it in the upcoming election. Our leaders are not seeing what common people are very clearly, so we could actually think they are technically completely BLIND. I don’t want to be like Akkad. There is a possibility as a Christian that I MIGHT be gone BEFORE these mid-term elections. If not, then I’ll “Sound the alarm!” before that volcano or drought overtakes America completely. I promise to try!

“Faith Instead of Religion at Gem City Comic Con in 2022” Op-Ed

July 31, 2022 Tonja Condray Klein

By Tonja Condray Klein©07/30/2022

The day after a two-day event like an Anime or Comic convention is pretty much the same – honest happiness after meeting many new people and sharing your creativity with others and outright exhaustion from meeting many new people and sharing your creativity with others! I didn’t get any sleep the night before day one of the Gem City Comic Con so I was probably as articulate as an eggplant during most of Saturday at the Dayton Convention Center. One of the things that I certainly was NOT was a posterchild for religion. Christian Faith? Yes, but not because I had to be. Christianity is like breathing when you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as your Savior, Lord, King, and God Almighty. I couldn’t keep from sharing that part of me any more than I could keep from sharing Eirinth… it’s hardwired in me!

What does that mean? That I’ve been brainwashed by the ideologues of religion to the point of not thinking for myself or having an ability to choose to NOT be religious on command? No, it means the Holy Spirit through a love of my Savior Jesus Christ overflows without conscious thought most of the time… like breathing. Have I studied my Faith for the past forty years of my life? Yes. Did I do that because I HAD to do it? No. I am first and foremost an intellectual learner who NEVER stops seeking more information about everything. That is ALSO hardwired in me. Can I listen to a person who writes in completely different genres and even some that I don’t share interest in or acceptance of? Yes. We need to understand others by LISTENING to what their mindset is so we can reach out and try to connect as a person.

Religion tries to immediately demand agreement in all aspects of a person’s life. True Salvation through Faith in Jesus Christ and what He did for each and every one of us on the Cross of Calvary when we believe is ongoing, changing, regenerating, empowering, overwhelming, and even consuming; what it is NOT is corporate or exactly like anyone else’s experience. A REAL and life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ as Savior is PERSONAL. I’m not simply one sheep; I’m HIS Tonja. He knows how to spell my name right every time. He knows which song will help me get through a rough day. He knows that chocolate is mandatory at times for me to function. He knows that I love Japanese Anime and Fantasy novels and decided to call me to a ministry that meshed both together with my music. HE KNOWS HIS TONJA!

Does He approve of every single thing I do, say, feel, or express? No, He likes some but lets His Holy Spirit in me let me know those He doesn’t. He also knows the best way to get my attention and take me outside my comfort zone that I sometimes try to hide within from things I don’t personally like doing. RE-LA-TION-SHIP… He has His Holy Spirit lead as I try to be, and I pray for comfort, clarity, and consistency in what I do. I fail and He forgives. I seek and He surrounds. I rant and He reminds. Child and Father while still friends and sometimes cohorts when I follow as He leads. Am I ever in control? That’s a great question that I often ask! Is it EVER necessary for me to BE in control when I always screw things up on my own? That’s a GREAT BIG NO! Do I still try to wrestle away my human reins of power? Wait… what power?

Without Him I can do NOTHING. Do you understand that? I don’t want to even live without HIS touch of love in my heart and on my life. Do I ever have times of anger and hurt when I don’t get my own way? Well, duh, YES! Each day I have to fight between doing what is needed that is hard and doing what is more convenient. Each day I have to choose to be what I want or try to be what my Savior wants me to become. Each day I have to make a decision to go my own way or “Thy will be done, Lord” instead. Each and every day has the possibility to become a disaster or an opportunity to become a triumph for me and someone else that I share what they needed that even I didn’t know. I’m just as surprised as anyone else when some things happen! It’s never boring, but sometimes it is tiring mentally and physically. I still try anyway.

Am I compelled? No, it’s more like driven by a passion that wants to reach people with my stories to give them a new perspective or even a new life if they find Christ through my allegorical characters and plots. I needed more sleep at 1:30 pm on Monday, but I began writing this instead while the words were in my mind and heart. THAT is driven by an unseen but well-known hand of Grace and Inspiration. Reading parts of my books that I don’t remember actually writing sometimes astounds me, but since I told my Savior that His Holy Spirit has the right to give me those words then there is really no question about how it happened for me. I trust Jesus Christ implicitly. He has never failed me and has saved my life so many times I don’t think most people would believe it. Oh well, I KNOW it, so like those words, that’s ok too.

In case you don’t know me or my history then I’ll give you a short version. I’ve had allergies my whole life with upper respiratory infections that had me on antibiotics more often than not, but I still graduated 4^th in my class since I kept doing what needed to be done. I had a seizure in 2012 and was diagnosed with Relapsing/Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. In 2015, I the injection medicine led to an infection that had to have surgery to remove 17 cm x 12cm x 2cm of my left thigh. I still managed to finish my first Eirinth Novel in 2016 even with the scar that I have to look at every day, and yet it still reminds me that I could have died, and that is why I kept writing and finished Eirinth Book 2 in 2019. Then the blasted pandemic hit. My husband, my 91-year-old mother, and I survived. I’m thankful, but the losses didn’t miss us totally.

In 2021, two people who were my colleagues and friends like family were claimed by Covid-19. I was devastated and couldn’t write on Eirinth Book 3. I kept trying to figure out what to do. My Artist ‘Sister-in-creation’ that I’d worked with since 2009 was gone! She was an avowed Pagan, so my heart could only hope that something I’d said let her call on Jesus with her last breath. My Record Producer had been my friend beginning thirty-six years ago and was a brother, not only in Christ but also in singing. When I read about Gem City Comic Con in Dayton Ohio, I contacted them to see if my literary books were in line with their purpose and was told it was to promote READING so YES, I was welcomed. I got a table, and so the circus began! After being at OhayoCon Anime Convention for years I knew the craziness coming.

This was my first attempt to get back into promoting the stories that I honestly believe are a positive read for the teens, young adults, middle age adults, and even mature adults if they love standard Fantasy novels and also like Japanese Anime style artwork and fighting abilities in action scenes written in the story too. There are LOTS of romances going on, and even though there are a couple romance scenes in them, they are NOT graphic but mostly emotional and loving. I just tried to use the normal ratings system and made this PG-13, but it might not even be PG in 2022. While I understand that not everyone will like my novels I also think many people from many ages, backgrounds, and viewpoints will love them. Publishing my novels on my own means I’m still unknown, but it also means that I can write them the way I want too.

Yes, that’s why I get along with the Anime communities – I AM a non-conforming individualist who loves many Anime series. I don’t like bad language or pornographic scenes, and that’s why I don’t have that in my novels. Yes, I was out of church for years and wrote stories that have content I’m not proud of now, but I quit writing that and got back into church when I began writing Eirinth. I’m not ‘religious’ but believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior and the teachings of the Holy Bible, specifically books of Apostle Paul. What Christian churches teach in 2022? That’s why I do understand why so many in the Anime communities and other religions judge Christianity harshly. Even I have been a poor example of a Christian believer at times. I can only ask for forgiveness and try to do better with love. No one is perfect but Jesus.

Why am I writing this for that type of event? I wanted to share the FACT that I am one of those who are going into the highways and byways to find those who are looked over when it comes to inviting them to come to the King! It infuriates me with how some overly-religious people treat others who aren’t in their ‘clique’. I don’t bow to any man or woman in this world, and I won’t do it to self-righteous Pharisees now who refuse to offer Grace and Mercy unless it’s someone THEY think deserves it. Listen to me, religious idiots, you don’t have the RIGHT to judge anyone. You’re as corrupt in ways as this world is in how you treat others that you consider BELOW you. Yes, my house IS a mess. Yes, I DON’T have perfect attire or manners. I STILL reach out to people with HONEST LOVE of Jesus Christ! Do you?

I don’t make friends ONLY to try to get them to accept Jesus Christ as Savior. I have friends who are Christian, Pagan, Wiccan, Buddhist, and Muslim. They know what I believe and why, but I don’t try to force it on them. I honestly try to know each person and find common ties that we can enjoy together. If it leads them to God Almighty being able to reach them personally then that would make me happy, but it’s not a requirement. Friends are few and far between since I’m fighting an incurable disease that is thankfully in remission, but it takes all of my strength to even go to the grocery store sometimes. Those who saw me at Gem City Comic Con probably couldn’t even imagine that I’m dealing with any disease, even in remission. I’m good at hiding my lack of energy. I’m better at letting my Faith give it to me though.

Faith instead of religion at Gem City Comic Con was important for me to do. I’m beginning to get my strength back from being worn out from a lack of sleep, hours at the table, talking with everyone that I LOVED DOING, and then unpacking supplies once home. You then have food to make or order, dishes to do, trash to take out, clothes to wash, and bills to pay. No, I haven’t made a monetary profit from the books or music since I haven’t sold enough to cover expenses of creating, marketing, and stocking. THIS IS A MINISTRY. Two ministries if you separated the books from the music; but honestly, they’re intertwined so that might be impossible. I think I have to put this in a plus category, though, since I met many talented artists, writers, and creators who are doing what they love. I just hope I showed the Love of Jesus. ~TK~

“What If You Are The Only Jesus People See?” Op-Ed

April 8, 2022 Tonja Condray Klein

By Tonja Condray Klein©04/07/2022

Christianity isn’t just a religious way of life, a moral standard of living, or even a fight for the greater good. The reality of Christianity is having Faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, the Only Son of the Only Living God of Creation Who died in the place of each and every person’s sins passed down from the first humans through their blood line…until Jesus Christ was born with the blood line of God Almighty instead and was able to die for every single person throughout time who would simply BELIEVE. It sounds simple, but people make it so blasted hard to understand. Whether it’s due to the misunderstanding, misinterpretation, or direct misdirecting, the actual full message of Christianity through Grace by Faith isn’t presented as the Power-filled life of believers since many who claim to be believers have NO POWER by choice.

There are many groups who claim to be Christian that expect you to do all kinds of spiritual contortions that have NOTHING to do with SALVATION as stated in the Christian Holy Bible: “Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” THIS IS A FIRST STEP INTO A NEW LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST WITH HIM AS YOUR SAVIOR. Christianity asks for you to let Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit and His Living Word to begin restoring you spiritually, changing you personally to empower you supernaturally once you claim Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, Lord, King, and God of Creation.

Life is hard. Every day idiocy grates on the nerves and makes even a sane (or semi-sane) person want to destroy what is in the way of peace, joy, love, and even complete sanity. I’m writing this with tears in my eyes since I fail all the time to control my anger over things that overwhelm me when something that should be easier to handle drive me crazy! Is it possible I need to pray more, read the Bible more, and let go of things interfering with my Christian life more? YES! Is it possible the RRMS I have, though in remission, has me taking medicine that could be part of over- reactions? YES! Is it possible that approaching 50 years old with changing hormones could make me do the same? YES! Is it possible the enemy causes things to happen to turn the screws on my psyche so I fall short being a model Christian? YES!

THIS IS PERSONAL. This is the most important relationship you can have in your life since it is with the One who took your sin, knows you better than you know yourself, and wants for you to know HIM. His Spirit fills you again once you accept what He did FOR YOU, let Him take all sin you’ve done away FROM YOU, and let Him give a new life TO YOU. Salvation is instant, but LIVING your new life will take a lifetime. Justification is through Faith in Christ, and Redemption is promised. NONE of us are perfect so no matter how long a person is saved he or she will sin even if they have the best intentions to live for Christ, but His forgiveness is promised as long as you take sins to the Lord for Him to reapply His blood to your life once again for you to go forward AGAIN. AN ONGOING AGAIN!

We ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We ALL have the same tainted blood due to the human fall from the Grace of God Almighty our Creator that happened by Adam and Eve. WE ALL NEED JESUS! I can’t do the things I wish I could do or NOT do the things I wish I would NOT do. I AM HUMAN… inherently undisciplined in mind and body. I’m not proud of myself, and I certainly hurt my own heart when I do the things Jesus cries over each time I fail Him. There is NO excuse. I’m still trying to live my Faith to make my Savior be thankful that He did die for me. I am His even when I mess everything up. I’m still redeemed but ONLY by Faith in what HE already did for me. I’m supposed to be learning, progressing, and growing in His Grace, and yet I falter at the worst possible moments I could at times.

Christianity is NOT something to use so you can claim to be perfect; Christianity IS the WAY to reach the ONE who IS perfect as HE then helps you to try to live your life to SHARE that He lives IN YOU by His Grace through your Faith in what He’s already done for you and ALL WHO BELIEVE HIM. We each are supposed to be a Light Shining on the hill by living for Jesus with all of our abilities in spite of our own failures. Do things seem so out of control most of the time that it can make us question why we should even try? Yes. Do some people claim to be Christian yet seem to try to hurt others? Yes. Is either okay? NO! Jesus Christ gave His life to restore yours to how yours was meant to be before you were even born. HE SAW YOU when He was on the Cross of Calvary! Accept HIM to begin Life Restoration!

“That seems a bit dramatic!” some might exclaim. What happened on the Cross was as DRAMATIC as it was TORTUROUS and HEART-BREAKING. Every time I make a mistake and sin then my heart hurts since I know Jesus bled a drop to cover it for me. “That is some nonsensical way of thinking” others might yell out. Each person has your own decisions that you need to take responsibility for doing, and NO ONE has the power to live good enough on your own to overcome the sin in your soul. “Who do you think you are to judge anyone?” more scream in outrage. I’m not. I point to the facts according to the Holy Bible that gives the argument that we ALL have sinned and need a Savior Who has given HIS FREE GIFT for you that you need to accept so HE can change you from the inside out over time.

It is an ongoing struggle to even try to live for Christ sometimes. It is NOT always sunshine and roses. There are moments of rain and thorns. I’ve been through enough storms to tell you that it’s not easy, but in the midst of the storm is when Jesus shows up to help you not sink in a wreck and even walk on some kind of spiritual water if you trust Him. I’m still trying to understand why I had the car accident a couple years ago that totaled it. I only had a couple of bruised knees, so I’m thankful, but why did it have to happen? I was in shock but didn’t have a nervous breakdown and gave out cards to the police officer, towing driver, and owner of car I rear-ended after 30 years without an accident so I still ask WHY? Did any of them come to find the Lord or find a closer walk with the Savior? I don’t know, but the possibility gives solace.

What if I was the only Jesus those people will ever see? That is a thrilling but a frightening prospect since I’m not the best I’d choose for it. How many people have I failed to reach? How many people have I turned against Jesus by some careless action? How many have I pushed away by not showing the kind of Jesus they needed to see? It shadows parts of my life with how they could have happened. All I can do now is to TRY to live more like Him so all those going forward will see HIM instead of just me. Sharing the sea-walking Galilean carpenter Savior that died for all can happen in a better way, but what if that unexpected accident, scary disease, or ongoing illness put you in a place where Jesus can use you to reach even one soul that no one else will ever be able to reach? EVERY Christian needs to REALLY consider that.

Am I glad the car accident happened? Am I glad that I have Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis even if I’m in remission? Am I glad that I have to see a regular doctor, an allergy doctor, and a neurologist doctor? NO to all three, but if I have managed to show even a slight light to someone during one of those visits that reached someone for Jesus then that IS something that I’m glad about happening. I’m not a masochist so I don’t want pain, problems, or persecution, BUT if a moment of discomfort leads to an eternity in Heaven for even one person to have then it ALL will be worth it. I don’t like illness, but it’s an old thing to me since I was a child. I’ve wept sitting in the middle of a hospital bed more than once, but knowing that my Savior was right beside me singing over me has always been a comfort that I want everyone to have.

I used to be an optimist most of the time when I was younger, but if I’m honest I’m more of a realist now when it comes to everyday life. I have moments of utter joy with things I find beautiful, inspiring, and truthful, but desolation hits when the world feels like it’s falling down on me at the toughest times I’ve known. I trust people too quickly and get hurt often, but I still try to see the good a person has inside to help them get closer to Jesus to see good become a brighter light for others. It is part of my calling and the reason for my songs and books, but when others can’t understand things I try to use in a different way to do that reaching then it hurts more than anything else has in my almost 50 years. ‘Judge not lest ye be judged’ isn’t something many Christians seem to take very seriously. I do and try to live by it each day.

Like I’ve said before many times, I’m NOT perfect; I’m not even close or approaching it at any speed other than a human crawl. I try to let the Lord change what He wills with music, scripture, books, research, and any media He chooses. It’s interesting what He DOES use sometimes, but there are many who wouldn’t believe it was God Almighty who does it because they try to put God Almighty in a religious box of their own making. I DON’T. I know that HE KNOWS ME. HE KNOWS WHAT REACHES ME. HE KNOWS WHAT REACHES EACH AND EVERY PERSON. That is WHY I still write what I write and sing what I sing. If one part of a book or one stanza of a song reaches them then that means I wrote it FOR THEM TO FIND HIM! Will that be many? Maybe not, but even 1 is worth it. Even 1 matters. Even 1 is enough.

I keep watching “Castle”. That series helped me to finish writing BREAKING THE SHACKLES, Book 1 of my “Rebirth of Eirinth” Christian Speculative Fantasy Novel Series. I don’t claim it’s the best book you’d ever read or if the writing is what some would want, but I tried to do something different to reach a few specific groups of what I’d hoped would be my readers based on my eclectic interests and how the book interlaced Fantasy novels, Japanese Anime series, and Christian music within the pages of the story. It has a positive purpose even if some can’t see it. It definitely has my heart throughout it, so if anyone knows me at all they should see it in the art, read it in the story, and hear it in the music. If it and TREADING THE PATH, “Rebirth of Eirinth” book 2 don’t show Jesus Christ too in some way then I failed.

When I chose ‘Tenrai Daystar’ as the name for my version of Jesus Christ in Eirinth it wasn’t done lightly. Tenrai is a Japanese word that means ‘sound of the wind, divine, beautiful poetry’ and that is how I FEEL about Jesus Christ, my Savior, Lord, King, and God Almighty. I knew I needed something else, and the song “Daystar Shine Down on Me” came to me when I prayed about it and sounded right when added to the first name. ALL character names were chosen for their meaning to give spiritual background and personality traits once shown through their reactions and places in the storyline. That was how I planned it and hoped readers would understand and find the one they related to the most to then find their path in this world toward Faith with their skills and abilities that God can use to show Jesus to others too. I truly hope.

If my songs and books are my ways to be the only Jesus people see then I’m thankful for what I’ve done as a teen and adult with my music and as an adult with my books even if others can’t recognize it now. I’ll have a table at the Gem City Comic Con on 07/23-24/2022 at the Dayton Convention Center for the first time. Though my book series is NOT the comic genre but written Fantasy books, they have similar artwork. Maybe someone there will be interested. I’m giving my music CD “Eirinth Breaking” with each purchase while supplies last and will be in ‘costume’, so maybe something in my multi-media project will reach out to EVEN ONE PERSON. It might seem a small return for all of my time, money, and tears, but what if THAT ONE is your son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, parent, grandparent, spouse, or friend?

A Worldwide Revival is prophesied to happen BEFORE the Rapture (calling away) of the Believers in Christ as many believe happens BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins. I recently read the online article at Kehilanews Community Blog under “Yeshua’s Hidden Identity Revealed on Succoth, His True Birthday” by Richard Honorof on Oct 7, 2020. He believes that Worldwide Revival will begin in Jerusalem once people there see the link that Mary (Miriam) has to the line of King David through her father AND the line of Aaronic high priesthood by Zadok through her mother. This gave Jesus Christ not only the KING line but also the HIGH PRIEST line for the final SACRIFICE HE GAVE FOR ALL OF US!

What if YOU are the ONLY JESUS people in your life SEE? What if…?

Online Book Club Review 2022!

March 8, 2022 Tonja Condray Klein

Here is the direct link to read the REVIEW of BREAKING THE SHACKLES, Book 1 of my “Rebirth of Eirinth” Novel Series done by Online Book Club. It is a 4/4! It has pros and cons about the story and gives a well-balanced review that points out some of the things I think I did better in TREADING THE PATH, Book 2. I agree with the good, the bad, and the suggestions. It has member replies about what they think about the review and if they’d think about reading it too. I’m pleased with the review!

“War in Ukraine Now and Rumor of War in Taiwan Maybe Soon” Op-Ed

March 3, 2022 Tonja Condray Klein

By Tonja Condray Klein©03/03/2022

Whether Russia, China, or any other country against the Democratic Republic form of government that WORKS, despots will always choose their targets and wait until the best possible time to deploy forces and attack with all weapons deemed necessary to gain a victory. What is happening in Ukraine has shaken people here in the United States of America since there are few who went through wars like World War II when Hitler bombed England the way Putin is Ukraine now. My ninety year old mother remembers, and this angers her since my father fought in that war and his brother died serving, so this is PERSONAL since our government doesn’t have an FDR in our ranks to get us and the world through this now. I wasn’t alive during World War II, but I was given factual history when in school and understand the situation now.

Russia is still a NUCLEAR Adversary. Why in the world are we buying ANY energy from them? Claiming it’s because we need to fight ‘global warming’ or support the ‘green new deal’ is absolute HOGWASH! We ALL need to get our heads back in the present world of REALITY! I believe in helping other countries, and I have no problem working an energy deal with Europe to help them, but this ‘globalist’ mindset that some politicians, regardless of their party label is a slap in the face of ANY service man or woman who has fought, bled, or died for our country in the wars of our history. I take it very personally too when our own government BETRAYS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE for Political Gains! This isn’t okay in this dimension or any alternate! Last time I checked America was FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE!

Oh, that’s right… we’re no longer allowed to think for ourselves! Yep, we are supposed to believe anything that anyone in power tells us and just go along like good little boys and girls! WE THE PEOPLE are now seen as being dumb enough to need any message to be dumbed-down so we, the dimwitted who actually LOVE AND WANT FREEDOM will see how smart those in charge really are and how we have no right to say anything against them. Censorship is paramount to the safety of the masses, right? Not a single person can give their view if it isn’t along lines with those in power! Lively debate? Oh, no! That would hurt the little feelings of the brain-washed! How could they fight their programming if they EVER SAW REALITY? My goodness gracious that is just TOO BARBARIC TO CONSIDER! Yeah… right…

That last paragraph is meant to be completely satiric – a type of writing where you say or type the exact opposite of what is really happening or meant by the person saying or writing it. It USED to be used in comedy ALL THE TIME! Now? It can’t be considered even possible without getting slammed by those who don’t even have enough humor in their pinky finger! I’m a Christian, so I don’t like excessive graphic language, but I used to watch Saturday Night Live with the comedians that had their own programs too that were NOT really okay for a teenager, but I still found humor in some of their material even if I didn’t approve of some of the language. Sometimes reality isn’t clean. Sometimes people speak in rough language that still holds truth in it. THAT is WHY we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Not to agree but express.

While I’m praying Spiritual-Warfare type of prayers, I’m also hoping for some tactical group in a better place of safety from Russia will be able to react in time to help the Ukraine people in a stealthy way and better than we have been able to so far. Ukrainians are fighting for their lives and homes. They are fighting for their families and freedoms. They are fighting for their way of life and government. Sometimes I feel like Americans have been fighting since the Covid-19 pandemic took so much from us and gave nothing but pain and captivity in its wake. 2020 and 2021 were both TAKEN FROM US! I can’t express in words enough for those reading to understand the depth of my anger, frustration, loss, and absolute derision with how things were handled on all fronts. I WANT MY FREEDOM IN AMERICA NOW TOO!

How does this Ukraine incursion fit into the Last Days in Christian prophecies from the Holy Bible? It might only be a fulfillment of the ‘wars and rumors of wars’ given. Then again, it might be the beginning of the way the people of the world come together in times of distress when they feel something isn’t right. Unfortunately, it could also be what is used by the anti-Christ behind the scenes before Christians are taken away for safety before he the man of perdition is given his place in some government. At 11:55 pm on 03/02/2022 news reported there is a power outage now in Taiwan. This might be a coincidence with how things are panning out in Ukraine right now as warships are coming by the Black Sea to try to take Odesa sometime today 03/03/2022. Either way, Taiwan might be in that ‘Later’ mentioned in this post but ‘Now’.

These things must happen according to Christian scriptures concerning the Rapture of Christian believers, but I’m still praying that things will fall apart for the dictators, work out for the people in Ukraine and Taiwan trying to hold onto their freedom, and for all Christians who desperately need to WAKE UP to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ while there is still time! This is OUR responsibility that Jesus Christ CALLED EACH OF US TO DO before He returned to Heaven so the Holy Spirit could be sent to be our Comforter and show gifts to reach the world with the reality of God Almighty that isn’t just a religion. In 2022, we need the Almighty Power of God through His Holy Spirit for people to SEE HIM to then KNOW HIM PERSONALLY! HE knows you no matter where you are right now 03/03/2022. HE REALLY DOES!

Call on Jesus Christ to forgive you from your inherent sins from birth through the tainted bloodline of Adam that Him will exchange while giving you a spiritual blood transfer that He completed on Calvary’s Cross. We still have to deal with sin in these mortal bodies, but the more we pray, read the Holy Bible, and reach out to others then the better it will be for us to learn the amazing but sometimes challenging life He has for YOU. Please pray, “God Almighty of Creation, I do come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe He is the only Son of God that came to die in my place for my sins that I didn’t even know about completely. Forgive me, let Your Holy Spirit reconnect my spirit to God Almighty again, and I ask for the transformation of my heart and mind as I praise You for accepting me. In the name of Jesus Christ… Amen!”

No matter where you are, if you prayed that prayer and believe in your heart then YOU ARE SAVED! No matter what happens to you in the physical realm of this world, your soul now belongs to God Almighty of Creation again! Give praise and glory to God for His Love! None of us deserve His Grace or Mercy, but He gives it to WHOSOEVER WILL! If you have, then you are now ONE OF THOSE! I will be praying for you and hoping you find your way to wherever you need to be for Him to give you a new life. You can find a digital Holy Bible on www.blueletterbible.org and choose your version to read. I suggest the New King James, but the New NIV is good too. Whatever can give you understanding for your new life in Jesus Christ is what you should read. I Pray Jesus Blesses You and Keeps You Safe in HIM! ~TK~

“Wars and Rumors of Wars with Perilous Times in 2022” Op-Ed

February 28, 2022 Tonja Condray Klein

By Tonja Condray Klein©02/27/22

As we in the United States of America watch the news about the incursion of Ukraine by Russia, Christians should be asking a very important question, “How does this fit into the Last Days of the End Times in relation to the Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ?” While I still won’t put an actual date on when Jesus Christ will return to get believers saved by Faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ to take them out to safety BEFORE first judgement seal broken, certainly this also points to a specific scripture that came to mind right after American withdrawal from Afghanistan possibly leading to War on Ukraine and a future incursion of Taiwan by China. The United States of America should attempt to discourage all of this to not cause nuclear war now that Putin has put their nuclear response on high alert.

“Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Matthew 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” from the Christian Holy Bible King James Version

This scripture has been referenced ever since first written when any war or time of unrest has been seen by Christ believers, whether right after Jesus Christ returned to Heaven after the Resurrection around 33 A.D. or throughout the last 1989 to 1995 years, so why would it seem to be more likely to be speaking of what is actually happening in 2022 now? If not because of other scriptures that speak more about our present world situation we can see daily when contrasted to the histories of many nations around the world then I can only say that our world is more like that in 2022 than at any other in Pre-history (Ancient), Classical, Middle Ages, Early Modern, or before now in Modern history. The Christian Holy Bible tells us things that happened throughout time, but there are specifics for End Times that are even more dominant now.

“2Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

2Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

2Timothy 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

2Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

2Timothy 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

2Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” from the Christian Holy Bible King James Version

All of the verses above are happening in 2022, but verse 5 seems to be leveled at Christian churches specifically about them having a form of godliness but denying the Power of God Almighty. THAT is WHY we haven’t had a REAL REVIVAL yet! I’ve seen the TRUE POWER of God Almighty in Christian Church services in 1985, so WHY are we not allowing the Holy Spirit to let His Gifts flow through believers in Jesus Christ who long to see many be saved by Faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for all of our sins? ‘Wormwood’ has been thought to be a nuclear attack DURING the Great Tribulation, but it isn’t supposed to happen before Rapture happens of the Believers in Jesus Christ, Gentile or Jew. Is it possible that the Rapture won’t happen first? Not according to the Holy Bible we put ALL of our Faith in even in 2022.

My uncle was a Baptist minister, and I went to several different denominations over the years, but I believe we need a FULL-GOSPEL SPIRIT-FILLED GIFTS-OF-THE-SPIRIT-EMPOWERED REVIVAL! If we don’t we could be kept here until we get our act together enough TO DO WHAT GOD ALMIGHTY CALLED US TO DO! Then again, I and the ones who believe we won’t go until the last soul to be saved in the Grace Dispensation period happens are wrong and we are taken out anyway? What if we have to stand before Jesus Christ, the One who shed HIS BLOOD for us and have to be told the names and shown the faces we failed to give an account? JESUS, HELP US! We can’t fail those souls waiting for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to SAVE their lives AND CHANGE their lives RIGHT NOW! WE MUST NOT!

WE MUST WAKE UP! Some who claim to be Christian want to stay here and try to build their own empire, so they don’t want a revival unless it gives them more money. I want a REAL REVIVAL to give us a LAST HARVEST! I WANT TO GO HOME! In case you don’t get it, HOME IS HEAVEN. I have a mansion of my own waiting for me, not because I deserve it but because I believe in Jesus and HE PROMISED! “Just build my mansion next door to Jesus, and tell my family I’m coming home!” I have so many of my personal family, my church family, and my spiritual family to get Home to see, either again or for the first time. I want to go, but I don’t want to leave anyone behind who is meant to come with us. Each Christian should think about how you’ll feel when you give account of those you failed to reach.

“Oh, someone else will do it. I can’t take a chance on religion making people hate me! I have to keep my image of popularity, so I can’t be thought of as one of ‘those’ people.” Yes, I have heard those excuses for my almost 50 years, and even now they are nothing but prideful excuses that God Almighty is NOT going to accept for letting a single soul die and go to hell because YOU wouldn’t even TRY to reach them for HIM! I’m angry at churches myself for just NOT wanting to reach EVERY SINGLE SOUL POSSIBLE! EVERY SOUL POSSIBLE! NOT who YOU think deserves it. NOT who YOU think can raise admiration from fellow self-righteous hypocrites. NOT who YOU think is okay enough to share you church pew! Unto the least of these we are supposed to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ! THE LEAST OF THESE!

NO ONE is beneath God Almighty’s notice! HE wants ALL of the LEAST OF THESE! HE wants ALL of the WHOSOEVER WILL! Who are any of us to not try to reach them for HIM? He gave ALL for THEM and ALL OF US. How can we do any less for HIM? Some believers around the world are DYING because they claim their Faith in HIM. How can any of us in the United States of America or any other free country be so prideful to not see those who are led toward their own destruction without even understanding it because WE ARE NOT TELLING THEM! How can God ever forgive us for that? If you think I write these just for fun or acclaim THINK AGAIN. I write these to reach JUST ONE MORE! Anywhere! At Any Cost! EACH SOUL IS PRICELESS! How can any Christian think less than that?

I’m watching the news about Ukraine now, and my heart cries out for the people. Afghanistan before, Ukraine now, and possibly Taiwan next; we see the countries being lined up for the final phase before the Rapture might happen that leads to the Great Tribulation Period as prophesied thousands of years ago. I’ve watched actual prophesies happen in real time as leading to the final ones before the Grace Dispensation ENDS. This year, a couple more years if calendar off, or 2029 as one Israeli writer offers, the Christian church has a little time to get us right, have a Real Revival, and claim that final harvest of souls for the kingdom of God Almighty before TOO LATE. I don’t want anyone who can escape from Great Tribulation to be left behind when Gabriel sounds the trumpet of Jesus Christ to take us to safety in actual Heaven.

It’s been preached for over two thousand years, and even before that in the Old Testament prophecies too, so no one who has read any of the given Word of God Almighty has an excuse to not see what’s happening in 2022, especially those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, and we must try to do what God Almighty asks for us to do NOW AND STOP WAITING! While those in Ukraine are the most at risk today, the nuclear threat is worse at this moment than even in the previous Cold War era that I lived through. CHRISTIANS BEGIN PRAYING! This upgraded level of High for the Russian Nuclear Defense Assets is something that anyone who lived through the last 50 years can relate to as being very frightening. While I still believe Christians will be evacuated before the first judgement, we should PRAY FOR ALL!

Believers in Salvation through the Blood of Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God Almighty should be praying, speaking out with wisdom to those around us, and use pinpointed Prayers of Spiritual Warfare by those who have that Spiritual Gift. We need to be praying for the leaders in any occupation who could make a difference to keep the worst possible ending for Ukraine and the world. If a nuclear attack happens then EVERYONE will be affected! The deaths would be catastrophic alone, but just like with Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II the people still alive after initial strikes would pay with their lives from after-effects of radiation at a greater level since bombs now are stronger which means even more death and damage in the aftermath. Even if biological weapons, it would be disastrous.

We must PRAY AGAINST THIS WITH FAITH!

“What a Difference a Year Can Make in Prophecy…” Op-Ed

February 21, 2022 Tonja Condray Klein

I wrote an earlier Op-Ed about the possibility that the Rapture or ‘Calling Away” of Christian believers happening in 2021 due to certain world events happening and even timelines expressed through certain Biblical scriptures, but I also wrote that I wasn’t saying it was definitely going to happen now yet still wanted both Christians and non-Christians to be aware, consider the possibility, and search their hearts BEFORE it does. The Rapture didn’t happen, and I posted the next Op-Ed to explain that it still COULD happen at ANY time due to the remaining requisite being the last human soul to be saved by Grace through Faith in the Blood Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for that person’s sins that we EACH are born having through the lineage we ALL have by Adam and Eve since the birth of Creation by God Almighty the Creator.

My own Ancestry searching has led me to not only search out the lineage lines of my parents backwards that has led me all the way back to the farthest ancestor being in 498 B.C. in the Seleucid Empire. That historical searching led me to finding out through articles and documents that reminded me that when we went from B.C. (now referred to as BCE for ‘before common era’ to remove the ‘Before Christ’) to A.D. (now referred to as CE for ‘common era’ to remove the other that was for the Latin phrase meaning ‘the year of our Lord’ that education no longer wants to acknowledge) that it wasn’t begun at zero but at one. This might not seem important to most people in this world, but when it comes to prophecies that are EXACT as to WHEN certain things would happen to prove is was from the God of Creation, so IT IS IMPORTANT!

While I also agree with the ministers who say not to place an absolute date for the Rapture happening since the Bible actually warns against listening to those in the ‘Last Days’ of the Grace Dispensation that we are presently still in during 2022, I also agree with the writings of many who point out that we should still know the TIME before that WILL happen. I came across a writer who pointed out a one year difference because of a B.C. to A.D. calendar change. If that discrepancy is the only difference then when the Jewish writer claimed that 2028 would be the year their Messiah would return if eighty years a generation marker the Jewish Torah uses; yet one year needs added to make it 2029. This Israel perspective for their ‘Messiah’ is in line for Christians who also believe in Jesus Christ, but there is more to it too now.

As a Christian who has studied eschatology for the past thirty years and also believes that the Christian Rapture happens BEFORE the 7-year Great Tribulation period prophesied in Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation begins then 2029 is the possible time for the return of Jesus Christ landing on Mount Olivet as stated in the Holy Bible but AFTER the Great Tribulation. If any Jew now believes in Jesus Christ as Messiah and Savior then that person is considered as a Messianic Jew who will ALSO be taken to safety in the Christian Rapture BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins. For generational calculation to be precise then it is possible that instead of 2021 in the article I read that precipitated my other Op-Ed, and mentioned in my other Op-Ed about 2021 not happening, then the 1 year added for B.C. to A.D could point to 2022.

While I agree that Jesus Christ returning to Israel could happen as the Israel writer stated, he didn’t mention the Rapture, so I’m going to calculate it according to the Christian belief about the Rapture timing known as ‘Pre-Trib’. 2022 plus 7 equals 2029, so that WOULD be the exact year that would line up with the generational calculation of 1948 plus 80 to equal 2028 plus 1 year missed at the B.C. to A.D. change to equal the end of the Tribulation to be 2029 and when Jesus Christ would return to stop the anti-Christ and reclaim the world and His Jerusalem to fulfill all final prophecies in Israel’s Jewish Torah and the Christian Bible related to Israel specifically when the Word is properly discerned as which Scripture is meant for Israel, which Scripture is meant for Christians, and which Scripture is meant for the entire world even now.

There is another aspect that is needed to be pointed out – people are now living longer than 80 years, and the one Scripture says the generation who saw Israel become a nation in 1948 would not pass before the coming of the Lord. My mother will turn 91 this April and SAW Israel become a nation. Anyone alive before 1948 is probably considered THAT generation. There are many people in the United States and around the world who are over 100 years old right now. The calculated possibility of 2022 could still happen, but the reality that the Christian church hasn’t seemed to have any real substantial revival to reach the last souls to be saved during the Grace Dispensation Period now as prophesied to happen BEFORE the Rapture does, but revival hasn’t yet. Christians need to REACH OUT TO ALL WE CAN NOW!

I suggest that every single person, whether Christian or not, read the “Defenders of the Realms” novels by Nathan D. Thomas on Amazon. I’m currently reading Book 3 after the first two that I have reviewed as 5-Star for both, and these novels have really uplifted my heart since the loss of my Book Artist and my Record Producer in 2021. It also has helped me to focus again on my ‘Rebirth of Eirinth” Book 3 – SEEKING THE LIGHT, and my music too. We ALL need to get focused on our given gifts to reach out to those that we are the ones to be witnesses of Christ in these Last Days to that might end sooner than we thought or be lengthened if we fail to see where we need to be to do what God Almighty has called each of us to do wherever in the world we are. Whether America, Israel, or Ukraine, WE NEED A REVIVAL!

All of the different aspects that relate to the Christian Revival, Rapture, or Return mean that we each must study to show ourselves approved as Paul told Timothy in the Christian Bible. We each need to be able to give account to WHY we believe WHAT we believe. That means that we can’t take the words of one person or group to be the end-all-be-all of prophecy or Faith. I’m not claiming to know it all about everything. I’m simply putting out some possibilities for ALL to consider while getting ready for a possible Revival we should be trying to support AND begin. The pandemic has halted ALL church activity, and we have lost so many to the point our sorrows cloud the JOY we have in our hearts for the real Salvation in the Blood of Jesus Christ, and the entire world NEEDS IT! WE MUST RESTORE OUT FIRST LOVE!

Is it possible that 2049 is the time Jesus Christ will return WITHOUT the Rapture or the Great Tribulation? The Scriptures give specific prophecies that must occur BEFORE the Rapture can take place, and worse perilous times could happen to shake the church out of its current COMA it seems to be stuck in, but one prophecy doesn’t negate another, so the generation who saw Israel become a nation will not pass away before the Lord Returns is another deciding factor too. Is it possible that the Great Tribulation won’t happen? The Great Tribulation is spoken of happening with certainty in the Jewish Torah and the Holy Bible to the point I’m still surprised there are some who claim to be Christ believers who still don’t believe it will. I understand the question of ‘when’ whether ‘Pre’ or ‘Mid’ but Post or Not at all seem impossible.

I’m a Pre-Trib believer due to the fact the Holy Spirit revives a believer’s spirit to belong to God Almighty again. That very breath of God filling Adam once he was made was that same connection he lost due to sin, but through Faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ then the Holy Spirit connects us again in a way that might be an even stronger link that doesn’t allow the ‘man of perdition’ known as the anti-Christ spoken of in the Jewish Torah and the Christian Bible to take power until Christians are removed – being raised from the dead and those still alive all ‘changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye’ to meet Jesus Christ in the air and be taken to safety BEFORE the Great Tribulation will begin. Some think the Rapture won’t happen until ‘Mid-Trib’ – 3-1/2 years into the 7-Year Great Tribulation – but I question that possibility.

While there could be reasons why a Mid-Trib would happen, I don’t see Scriptures that support it, especially with 21 judgements being rained down on humanity that Christian believers aren’t listed as having to go through. Not even the Covid-19 pandemic reached the percentages listed in Revelation about how many die with each separate seal, trumpet, or vial judgments as specified. There haven’t been any in history that fulfills a single one even if some in the Post or Not at all group claims it already happened. While some accounts in History might not give the full specifics for certain chaotic situations NUMBERS DON’T LIE. No historical book verifies any of these judgements happening already. The Jewish Torah was the FIRST publication to proclaim the reality that science missed for a very long time – the Earth is round!

I’m not claiming to know WHEN Jesus Christ will return in the clouds, change Christians of all nations, and join Him to get to safety. I’m simply pointing out that with the way certain countries are at this time in 2022 I’m trying to get Christians to WAKE UP! Our Redemption could be drawing nigh soon OR we might all be stuck here for a while longer until we start BEING THE REAL CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST! I don’t want to see this country become more like the ones that don’t allow the freedoms the Unites States of America allowed pre-pandemic. Things are growing dire for even being able to assemble, so we might be forced to have a revival in a different way that doesn’t include being in the same room anymore. While we have communications to do it now, what happens if the government cuts all of the power?

I don’t want to live under a dictator regime. I want my Constitutional Democratic Republic to be restored. While I know things will happen with prophecies that MUST occur, I still want to try to have our FREE COUNTRY for as long as we can until things can’t be maintained any longer. I didn’t think we would be at this point quite this soon, but when final pieces of the prophecy puzzle are placed then there will be NOTHING that can delay or stop the final event. I still see that piece as the last person to accept Jesus Christ as Savior, and then Gabriel will sound the trumpet, Jesus Christ will appear in the air, and ALL CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS AROUND THE WORLD will be transformed with flying shoes and meet Him for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in the Third Heaven to wait for time to pass until we return to reclaim Earth!

I know it’s been since the original Word of God Almighty was given to the people of Israel, and the Christian church began when Jesus Christ came to die for EVERY PERSON’S SINS whether Jew or Gentile, so some might say this is nothing but a fairy tale or religious myth, but I have news for you 02/21/2021 – JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN AND ALL WHO BELIEVE IN HIS FORGIVENESS WILL BE SAVED AND RESCUED! Will there be doubters? Yes. Will there be signs that deny any of what I’m typing right now? Yes. Will it mean that any of it could blind you from finding Salvation and safety in time? Yes. That is WHY I put up the information on my Christian website to give you the help if you miss the Rapture. It won’t be easy, and you might still die, but at least READ IT: https://www.tribulationhelp.com

“When I was a Child I thought like a Child… I was Colorblind AND Patriotic!” Op-Ed

February 17, 2022 Tonja Condray Klein

I began learning to sing when I was about four or five years old at home with my mother as we listened to Christian and even some popular secular music like Elvis that we would sing together to while my father was at the Dayton Mall in Centerville, Ohio every Saturday. We watched movies. We watched news. We watched programs of drama, romance, action, and even mysteries. That I was born September 1^st in 1972 is something that I’ll be thankful happened for as long as I’m in this world. I believed the United States of America was the best and most loving of all countries with freedoms that we’d never lose in my lifetime. I still believed all of those until 2020. I’ve posted many spiritual warnings in my Op-Ed’s to try to get the reality of what we are facing and WHY it is so important to know.

I’m a born-again Spirit-filled Christian believer, but I am not a religious fanatic or political activist; I vote my faith. I vote my personal convictions. I vote for my voice to be heard in government by the people I choose to support. ALL of that indicates a Constitutional Democratic Republic upheld by laws agreed upon FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE. NOT Totalitarian. NOT Dictatorship. NOT Oligarchy. NOT Socialist. NOT Communist. There are enough types of those governments around the world in present day, and they have been noted in documented history to show NONE of them from before have ever been as FREE as the United States of America. EVERY people over time have practiced slavery over other people not of their race or creed. That doesn’t excuse it, but every group is guilty of it.

I don’t judge by color; I acknowledge by character. I don’t choose friends by religion; I have friends of almost all different ones while I hope to show the love of Christ while still respecting their choices even if my heart breaks as I pray for them. I still believe that the United States of America IS the most FREE when compared to the rest of the world now; I simply don’t trust most of the leaders in power in 2022 AT ALL. I’m not a conspiracy theorist; I’m being honest. I’m not a partisan; both parties have bad apples trying to destroy all that I love about MY COUNTRY. I was born here. My father fought and bled in World War II and my uncle died in it. I’m a law-abiding American citizen who loves the Declaration of Independence, Francis Scott Keyes’ National Anthem, 50-State American flag, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

When I was a child I believed that as an American it was my job as a student to learn all I could about our history to become a productive adult who would understand how our freedom was fought for and how we keep the people free by not allowing leaders to take over illegally and without the approval of the legal citizens. This is COMMON SENSE. It is NOT some religious, political, or extremist viewpoint; this is the AMERICAN viewpoint and has been before I was born. I haven’t been brain-washed in school like some in the latter generations have been or at least were subjects for them to be through propaganda instead of actual LEARNING THE DOCUMENTED FACTS. I’ve seen what some in the Millennials group were being taught with my own eyes, and I would bet my bottom dollar it is getting much worse in 2022 now.

I was given scholarships and grants for my 4.3 GPA and ACT/SAT scores to go to college. I’ve told some of this before, but this is a VERY IMPORTANT FACT. I was in college after I graduated 4^th in my Northridge High School class of 1990 in Dayton, Ohio. I was taking Computer Science as my major and Teaching as my minor. I was going to code in more than ‘Basic’ and teach History in Middle or High School. I got sick, missed too many classes, and withdrew. I went to work and then got my Webpage Development Certificate at Edison State Community College in 1999 that I still use to this day. I’m PRO-EDUCATION; I’m ANTI-PROPOGANDA. I’ve SEEN class homework since I graduated and tried to help my niece then her children that are my great-nieces and great-nephew; their classes barely had ANY FACTS.

I’m a Christian who supports historical humanities even if they aren’t seen as seemly by some in various Christian communities, but just like Freedom of Speech is supposed to protect my right to proclaim my faith and beliefs without any fear then it also applies to those I don’t agree with so we all have an open right to disagree without aggression or violence. I’m PRO-SCIENCE if that Science is PROVEN and DOCUMENTED; I’m very emotional about many things, but I don’t say that what I feel is FACT because my feelings are NOT Objective, and yet Science is supposed to be PROVEN FACT. I took Chemistry in High School, but I still learned basic biology and chromosome absolutes. I also know that there has NEVER been a racist mathematical equation unless it was a word problem a racist teacher created – MATH IS PURE!

What is my point with all of these examples? I WANT PROVEN EDUCATION! I was going to be teaching kids at one point, but in 2022 I’m actually THANKFUL I DIDN’T become a teacher. I NEVER could have let a teacher union force me to teach LIES to the children in my care or lose my career at their discretion to make my education cost me more than the money wasted if that had happened. I would have QUIT before betraying my compass of right and wrong as well as what would have actually been ILLEGAL according to laws at MY TIME in school. I know many teachers who taught and inspired me would have felt the same way and would have REFUSED to teach LIES if they’d faced it. I still applaud any teacher today who IS standing up for the FACTS and refusing to tell LIES to their students in 2022!

Even though I didn’t get to teach History classes in schools, I at least was able to be a Sunday School, Children’s Church, and Vacation Bible School teacher over the last 37 years. What I taught any of those kids over the years all have Documented secular history from many countries as well as Documented first-person writings other than the Holy Bible, and NONE of them could be refuted unequivocally over the course of thousands of years so far. Some might try now, but I hope any parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, or great-aunt/great-uncle will stand up for FACTS and FAITH against the lies being forced upon those in school and even in some churches. Whether you agree with my points-of-view or any or all of my teachings, for the love of everything factual, PLEASE PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM THE LIES NOW!

I might have some ‘out of this world’ ideas about Christianity and Historical records that I write about currently, but what is happening in schools is too important to let doctrinal disagreements keep us from addressing this by standing against their attempts to indoctrinate (brain-wash) children against our country and our way of life to protect FREEDOM. As a Christian I don’t want to see more violence like we witnessed in the 2021 riots. I will defend myself and those I love if someone attacks, but I want for people to try to LEGALLY change policies, schools, or churches. If they won’t then it might mean changing physical locations to where those policies are not being taught. I have great-great nieces in school and great-great nephews who will be in a couple more years, so this is something I’m praying about now more often.

I’ve been trying to share this information with their parents and all of those who read this so all of you can keep watch to protect those innocent children from being targeted. In the countries that the United States has been to war with before I was even born, the policies, practices, and propaganda have been used to take the children during that time away from the influence of their parents to get them to become wards of that government. DON’T YOU SEE THAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE USA? I’m not talking about one political party over another one either; I’m talking about being wary of ANY GROUP trying to make you relinquish your children’s minds to their teaching without your consent or specific knowledge of lessons being given. During this pandemic some parents finally saw some of what I’m talking about.

I research any topic I write or talk about before I even consider posting my opinion. I don’t have a degree in any subject except webpage development. I READ. I LISTEN. I WATCH. I TAKE NOTES. I COMPARE. THEN I WRITE. That is still part of the Scientific Method that I read about when in school, but now? I don’t know if they ever get beyond being indoctrinated and brain-washed to become little mouth-pieces for their education controller. Like I stated before, I commend the teachers who refuse to be that, so this is not meant to be toward you personally. For those teachers who are doing that or even worse now I have a word of unsolicited advice – STOP. Before you damage even one more precious child, STOP. Before you tell even one more lie, STOP. Parents – Reclaim your children peacefully and walk away.

Fairfax County, Virginia and even San Francisco, California have shown they are standing up for the freedom of their children against mandated masks and class content that is not proper education according to their views. I don’t have a problem with books being available to ADULTS under any subject matter due to the Freedom of Speech each American ADULT has the right to claim. Teachers giving lessons on subjects to students of my time (1975-1990) would have been FIRED for teaching it then, but they have been teaching it in 2022 until parents saw the reality of anti-American and what would have been called Pro-Racist teaching too that would have had teachers FIRED before! We need to teach these dark pasts of our country to learn how to NOT repeat it, but in 2022 some are now teaching students HOW to repeat it worse.

When I was a child I thought like a child. Please don’t let anyone else rob your children from that joy I still have in my memory of almost 50 years now. None of us are getting any younger in body, but we can keep one small part of our innocence as adults when we try to NOT let the children learn things they shouldn’t yet. They DO need to learn that OUR FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE. My father taught me that when he spoke about World War II, but he didn’t talk about that often since his brother was hit by a sniper in the Philippines and died. Dad was sent home early because of that death. HIS FREEDOM cost his brother’s life. Who do you know who died for yours in addition to Jesus Christ? I won’t meet them in this world now, but one day I might, and I truly hope that I’ve proven to all of them that MY FREEDOM was worth it all!
